Out of work steel worker sitting home watching Fox Lies?
Out of work coal miner sitting home watching Fox Lies?
DACA families being led out of their schools, workplaces and homes and being dropped off in a land that is totally foreign to them, looking around with tears in their eyes, saying what do we do now?
Teachers wearing guns on their sides or AR15s strapped over their backs while they teach classrooms full of little children?
Some laughing Mexicans pushing a ladder up to the wall and climbing over?
An elderly person looking at a new means test form on his SSA web page he is required to fill out to see if he is still eligible to keep receiving his money?
Hannity, and other Fox Lies hosts, with their lips moving?
Wayne LaPierre handing bags of cash to various Republican candidates, laughing together?
